I would ring his or her doctor for professional medical advice - just to be on the safe side lest anything suggested unwittingly does more harm than good.

My elderly aunt liven to 98, her later years she thrived on homemade soup and junket, just that

Junket, milk set with rennet, sugar and flavour to taste, but plain with a drop or two of vanilla extract
Is palatable and easy to eat and has protein and fat, just a bit short of carbohydrate
So thicken the soup with a bit of mashed potatoes.

I do agree with Milliepede - contact the doctor. 

We, on RC, are NOT medically qualified, nor do we know your friend's history.

ALWAYS err on the side of safety  :-*
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

I am a medical professional (not a GP) so I can advise that no GP would be allowed to discuss her situation with you, unless you have medical power of attorney for her. If however she is able to ring herself, then requesting a dietetic referral could be a good idea.

This general dietetic advice from my local trust may be useful:
